Abstract From the very beginning of sowing to the harvesting women form the veritable backbone of subsistence agriculture. It is a real fact that a silent revolution is going on from the grass root level in every panchayath of Kerala against the poisonous vegetables. Most of the panchayaths in Kerala are adopting schemes in association with Krishi Bhavans to grow organic vegetables in their courtyard or in the terrace. An in depth impact analysis of the scheme titled ‘veetuvalappil pachakari krishi’ incorporated in the women component plan (WCP) of the Karakulam panchayath in the Thiruvanathapuram district is to examine in detail how far has changed the life of the beneficiaries carried out. It has also been tried to examine how far being a beneficiary of this scheme improved the standard of living of women and how far they are able to face challenges of their life confidently.
